Navigation: option to avoid cobblestone, brick streets. This would be very appreciated by car drivers, motorcyclists. Android user.
I hate it when I get navigated down a cobblestone or brick street. You have to crawl along so your teeth don't fall out. I'd rather take a longer route than drive over these streets here in Seattle.

An option to tell Waze it's got me pointed in the wrong direction
When I'm trying to add a stop before I start driving and Waze has me pointed in the wrong direction, it'll suggest stops that are further off-route than it realizes because once I get started the route will be recalculated based on my actual direction of travel. If I could just tap the "me" icon and say "point me the other way!" that'd be tremendously helpful.

It should create an option for the user to block certain roads and accesses, so that Waze no longer makes suggestions for that route. This is important for cases of dangerous and hard-to-reach locations.

Alternate routes color text
On the alternative routes page, on an Android phone, reading the best route information is difficult because the text and green background are bright. I would like you to improve the contrast, maybe changing the text to black.

Ghost driver alert
A new alert would be interesting to have to alert drivers on a specific route that a ghost driver is coming their way and that they should be cautious, maybe telling them to stay in a lane and to reduce their speed.

Preimptive Traffic Notification - Please read it is not just what it seems by headline.
Preemptive traffic notifications! Sounds Alarm, chirp, chime, text w.e. the user selects when normal route would be jammed BEFORE leaving their home/spot. You have the info and capability to recognize patterns in people’s lives. If they leave at 7:30 to get on a bus, subway, truckers cranking up, no matter who it is, Waze could see that their normal route is delayed 2 hours and let them know BEFORE they have left. Think of the possibilists. People with flexible schedules, Truckers, Subway goers… Repeating but flexible route drivers (delivery etc.)… lots of people benefit so much! Even me, because I…

Waze update has altered the route options, seemingly imitating the style used by Google Maps. Why on earth are they copying that approach? It’s shorter, yes, but far more confusing. I highly doubt anyone appreciates this change. Could you revert it to the previous format?

Automatic Paving
Why doesn't paving come on automatically when driving along an unmapped route? This would make it safer than having to stop then follow all the steps to start paving etc

Notify conditions between home and work
Send a notification of a significant event that has occurred between home and work whilst the app is not in use. This feature is enabled only when either at work or home and is configured to only scan for issues between home and work when at home, vice versa.
For instance, if I am at work and a major accident has happened on my usual route, I want to know about it before I set off so I have options other than just finding an alternative route. The notification could state something along the lines of "[incident type]…

When I am traveling and Waze wants to divert me to another route does it take into account the fact that I am traveling with or without enough people in the car to use the car pool (HOV) lane. I left Palm Springs last Friday morning at 5am traveling to Redwood City. Waze diverted us through some back road highways to I-5. Not sure if that was the best route. Was I10 really that crowded. Was the car pool lane open.

Feedback on routes
After a drive I would like to give feedback on the navigation. I would log in to a web site, find my route, view on a map and then be able to click and say "Here, Waze said 'At the roundabout, take the third exit' but it should have said 'At the roundabout, take the third exit and then keep left'". I have many cases where there is room for minor improvement like this - but too minor to be done while driving.

Heads up
Warning of reason for new route: when traveling, we sometimes receive notices of alternate routes, that we then may accept of reject. However, sometimes, we simply are directed to a new route without any explanation or reason. We have found that ignoring the direction can result in significant delays. Why does Waze not give a heads up with an explanation for suggesting a new route in ALL circumstances?

Start an Apple Watch support or show the notification for route
An extension for the mobile waze app or a new app development would be not in the plan. At least the notifications would be great.

Navigation modes for familiar routes
During my long daily commute I listen to audiobooks and I have to turn off the Waze auto navigation (I'm just monitoring traffic & reporting police). If there is heavy traffic or an accident, I then have turn the navigation back on. It would be nice if the familiar routes were recognized and navigation only appeared if there is an event ahead. I don't need navigation for familiar routes unless there is an event that will delay my trip, which I think should be the idea behind learning familiar routes.

Toll
I wish that there was a better way to handle toll roads. I live in an area surrounded by toll roads. It is cost prohibitive to use them all of the time. It is critically necessary to use them at other times. Unfortunately, you can have either of these situations several times in a single day. It is impractical to change the setting to avoid toll roads multiple times in a day. In my mind the best solution would be for us to have a user setting that determines when tollroads would be used. For example, if the routing knew…
47 votesWaze usually builds up to three route alternatives – it’s up to you to choose the one which fits you most (with or without tolls as well). To check route alternatives, tap ‘Routes’ after initial route was built – list view and map view is available.

Road width restrictions
In Europe we often get width restrictions on certain roads. This could be added at Map edit level and integrated with navigation route planning and would need a new set of parameters in the vehicle details/settings that would determine if your vehicle can actually take advantage of routes which have width restrictions!!
i have been caught out several times in an oversize vehicle before!!

Danger Area
I suggest creating a dangerous areas alert feature as slums, streets or dangerous areas, with danger degree (high, medium or low) for assault, burglary, vandalism, etc. And the system always warn approach. The user can configure whether you want a route that deviates from the area or not, as you prefer the user.

Hello. make the possibility of building the route, taking into account the bridges. St. Petersburg (Russia), it is true. in winter bridges are not diluted, but the program thinks that the bridges are divorced and build a detour route. Thank you for your program :)
